setae, those on the elytra arranged in not very close longitudinal 

 lines. 



It is very short and stout in form and moderately convex. The 

 head is not very broad, nor the eyes very large. The clypeus is 

 prominent, semicircular, with very strongly raised margin, and 

 moderately sparingly granulated. The pronotum is short, rather 

 sparingly punctured, with strongly rounded sides, acute front 

 angles, and hind angles completely rounded away. The scu- 

 telluin and elytra are rather closely but not coarsely punctured, 

 and the costae upon the latter are not strong. The pygidium is 

 finely punctured and thinly clothed with moderately long hair. 

 The front tibia is armed with three short teeth, divided by acute 

 notches, the third tooth placed about the middle of the tibia and 

 nearer to the second than that is to the first ; all the tarsi are 

 slender, the longer claw of the front and middle feet is cleft, 

 and the shorter claw of the hind foot is more than half the 

 length of the longer one.

Bright yellow and rather shining, with the forehead black, and 

 the elytral suture and all the margins very narrowly tinged with 

 red-brown. It is clothed above and beneath with very minute, 

 uniform, evenly but not very closely arranged, pale decumbent 

 seta). 



It is ovate, moderately broad and depressed. The head is not 

 very broad, closely but not very finely granulated ; the clypeus 

 semicircular, with its margin well reflexed. The pronotum is 

 rather short, moderately closely but not very finely punctured, 

 with the sides uniformly curved, the front angles right angles, 

 sharp but not produced, and the hind angles only very feebly 

 indicated. The scutellum is closely punctured, and the elytra 

 closely and confluently, with the costae feebly marked ; the 

 epipleurse are wide, nearly the length of the elytra, smooth and 

 opaque, becoming widest a little before the end. The pygidium 

 is rather finely and closely punctured and its pubescence erect. 

 A sharp continuous carina extends along each side of the 

 abdomen, and the posterior edge of the propygidium is also 

 sharply elevated and united with the lateral carinae by a short 

 ridge which cuts off the last spiracle on each side. The con- 

 tinuous carina thus formed coincides with the outer edges of the 

 elytra. The front tibia is armed with three sharp teeth, the 

 uppermost minute and nearer to the second than this is to 

 the apical one ; the longer claw of the front and middle feet 

 is only very slightly cleft at the tip.
